Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater So... was the upgrade worth it?

Mojo, based on your observation, I did more experimentation with music listening but using Dolby Surround and DTS:X modes instead of All Channel Stereo.

Unfortunately, under my current configuration, the VP180 simply overpowers the M22's and QS4's and I'm finding the sound stage simply too directional. That said, I haven't run my system though a new Odyssey AccuEQ setup routine and the VP180 and EP500 are operating as my VP150 and EP175 were setup...

I hesitate to do so as for movies and games, the set-up is amazing and music is really a less than 20% function of my home theater. I spend more time listening to music either in the kitchen (SONOS Connect:AMP and B&W in-ceiling) or in my living room (NAD and Totem).

Maybe I'll just copy my current settings and see if I tweak the VP180 with Odyssey AccuEQ if music gets better and movies and games don't get worse.
